I'm the Female Lead's Most Fun-Loving Best Friend

There is often someone like her by the heroine's side: born to love fun, unwilling to be tied down, and even less willing to compromise for any relationship. Then one day, as Ji Tingyao grows older, her family falls on hard times.

The only person willing to take her in is, naturally, her kind best friend, who has already married into a wealthy family.

The male lead has been wary of her for a long time, afraid she'd lead his innocent, pure-hearted heroine astray. And then there are his strict, difficult parents, who find fault with everything she does. She wouldn't be surprised if even the male lead's dog barked at her a couple of extra times.

Oh, and the male lead also has an older brother: a powerful figure who has spent years weathering the ups and downs of the business world.

When he sees her, his eyes turn shadowy, as if she's an eyesore, a piece of trash that needs to be cleared away.

His two children are no kinder. His daughter says she's "the evil stepmother from Cinderella," while his son sneers that she's "Orochimaru from Naruto."

All in all, life in this household is no fun at all. The only upside is that she doesn't have to worry about making ends meet.

So Ji Tingyao decides to stay for a while, until she has enough money to get back on her feet. Then she'll leave without a second thought.

She'd rather not spend every day in such an oppressive atmosphere.

But just as she's about to leave, the male lead's nephew suddenly blocks her path in a fury.

He hurriedly unlocks his Xiaocaihong smartwatch and transfers her all the New Year money he'd saved up to marry a wife.

"Here's the money."

"Pretend to be my mom for one day."

After an accident during an outing together, Ji Tingyao realizes the truth during a blood test, and feels as if the sky has fallen. That really might be her child!
